Economic differentiation in Slovak agriculture

Z. Chrastinová
Research Institute of Agriculture and Food Economics, Bratislava, Slovak Republic

Results of agriculture suggest that a typical feature of this industry is economical differentiation of agricultural enterprises and product sectors. In contrast to the expectations at the time of entering the market environment, a more significant levelling of economic results has not yet taken place. Just as before 1990, natural conditions are still the crucial factor of the differentiated efficiency of agriculture and its product sectors, followed by the legal form of farming, agricultural land concentration; as well as the performance of managers, i.e. the organisation and management of enterprises. The evaluation of enterprises was performed through statistical methods (Pearson´s correlation coefficient) and various relative financial and economical coefficients.

Keywords: efficiency, investment, economic results (profit/loss), Pearson's correlation coefficient
